I feel confident Bernie would be happy to step down if it meant the heavily-entrenched geriatrics like McConnell and Feinstein did as well. This isn’t a matter of individual liberties, so we don’t have to hold the standards to minimizing any potential harm; we can instead focus on decisions which affect the greatest good. I strongly disagree with your opinion “for every zombie like Diane Feinstein, there’s a Bernie Sanders that’s sharper and more energetic than some 20 something’s I know” and instead think it’s more like there are 10 geriatric zombies doing harm to the country and system for every 1 decent Bernie Sanders-type.
